The staff are friendly and helpful whenever I come to visit my elderly mother. The staff are always helpful and friendly whenever I telephone my mother and or any of the staff. The staff always help the best way they can when I raise my mother's needs and concerns.

My husband now has two families, and he is very settled. The staff are so good to him, and it is very genuine. When I visit, the same genuine care is shown to me and the family and that is all the staff that are there from carers to catering - the food is excellent. The office staff are always helpful
when get in touch, their rooms are always clean and tidy. One of the places he likes is the craft room he may not do a lot of craft, but he loves his cup of tea and company. As the home is on a social media platform, a lot of what they do is put on there, and I always look forward to what they are doing and keep all the photos.

The staff here are doing a very challenging job but our experience has been that they are doing a good job and have shown real kindness and respect to my mother-in-law. We are very grateful for this place and the friendliness and warmth of the staff. Thank you.

I visited my aunt whilst on holiday from Australia. I found the home to be basic and needs a good refurb. Staff seemed nice although I do think they should check on the residents more regularly in the lounge areas. Food very poor. I did think staff in the activity room were very friendly, it looked
a great fun room but in my opinion, needs to be a lot bigger.

Reply from Kath Burgoyne, Area Manager at Brookfield Care Home

Thank you for your feedback. The home is, as you say, due for a refurbishment and we are shortly going to be commencing a programme of painting and decorating throughout the home with all carpets being replaced too. We can confirm that our new winter menu commences next week and if you want to give us more detail into your concerns with the food then we are happy to look into that. The activities room has been the best addition and is so well used and enjoyed by all who visit it.

Mum has been here since the middle of February, and we have been very happy with her stay here so far. She feels at home and safe. All the staff including carers, nurses, and housekeepers are very helpful and polite at all times. If any problems need sorting you only have to ask somebody and its seen
too asap. Mum also is very happy with the meals that are provided daily (a good and different option easy day).

Sadly it was not a fit environment for an elderly person who is deaf but has complete mental capacity. No encouragement to live life however long or short that may be. My relative has complex health needs to prolong his life but the whole place seems to be about running people down to die. Something
the staff probably deal with daily and becomes just part of the job.

From the first time I came here, not one person here come up to me and said "Hello, you must be the resident's partner", which would mean a lot to me. My partner would like a haircut and his beard shaved.

Reply from Christine Hamilton, Home Manager at Brookfield Care Home

I do remember one of the activity team came to say hello to you as you signed in and I am sorry that you didn't feel this was adequate. If your experience relates to the dementia floor then I apologise. We will ensure a hair and beard appointment is made. We will strive to get these things sorted upon your next visit.

I have found the staff friendly and caring. The building is bright and welcoming, although the bedrooms are rather small. However, as there are various activities on offer, residents do not need to spend all the time in their rooms. The small dining rooms are very much nicer than a large, noisy hall.
Residents who require wheelchairs (and are not demanding) may sometimes feel a little frustrated that they can't go where they want when they want. On the whole, Brookfield seems quite homely.

Reply from Christine Hamilton, Home Manager at Brookfield Care Home

Many thanks for the review. We are looking to source more wheelchairs so we can accommodate more residents.

Mum has lived at Brookfield Care Home since February 2023. They supported us before she moved in with a tour, and answering loads of questions. On the day of moving in, the handyman was extremely helpful as were all the staff. The staff are exceptional - nothing is too much trouble, and the consistency
of care and attention is wonderful. Mum took a few weeks to settle but is contented and happy, and well looked after. On noticing that she was losing a bit of weight after moving in (normal apparently), they monitored it weekly until she started to put it back on. A few pieces of clothing have gone missing and of course there are always a few niggles, but overall I can't fault the place. We initially were disappointed that the rooms were not fully ensuite (with showers), but actually it means we are now sure Mum is having a shower because someone has to take her! Thank you Brookfield for taking such good care of our mum, which means we know she is safe and happy.

As a volunteer, I see kindness and good humour demonstrated by carers and nursing staff. The creative activities facilitated by the activities team are imaginative and inclusive. My involvement is mainly with the regular Thursday church service and I see residents who appreciate this spiritual input
and in particular respond to the opportunity to sing hymns and worship together. This is an aspect of Brookfield which I feel is particularly important.

You are a valued volunteer here at Brookfield. We were very happy when you said you would stay on to volunteer. I will pass on the lovely review to all my colleagues.

Current Review Score: 9.3 (9.341)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.3 (9.341) out of 10 for Brookfield Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.3 out of 5 from 23 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 20 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.341 for Brookfield Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (136 Excellents x 5) + (96 Goods x 4) + (22 Satisfactorys x 3) + (6 Poors x 2) + (4 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 264 Ratings = 4.341

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Brookfield Care Home is based on 20 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 66 registered maximum number of service users is 13.2, which has been reached with 20 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
